For someone that pays close attention to detail and overanalyzes, it is evident that they bring this into the relationship. However, although sometimes useful, this trait is destructive for the two of them. The speaker feels interrogated for things that should not even need an explanation. The “interrogator” is trying to gain control but in doing so they let their worries and insecurities ruin their sense of rationality.

“The harder you think, the less you understand, creating problems that were never at hand,” (Impossibility) shows that to solve a problem you analyze it to come to a solution, but this lover has lost their sense of rationality so they are actually creating problems out of nothing, or very minute things.

The “suspect,” or the one being interrogated resents the interrogator for constantly having something to prove. The solution to fix them is to find why this cycle keeps repeating. It is thought to be due to insecurities and fear of losing their beloved that causes the interrogator to be paranoid. They must come to terms with their own issues and accept them. (Resolution of Impossibility)

The message of this paradox reveals that relationships can easily end over nitpicking, and often times this is due to an insecurity on one end. It is possible to beat a relationship to death over paranoia and doubt. Instead of allowing what you think may be an issue to get to your head and jumping to conclusions, you must take a step back and ask yourself if it is worth the possible consequence and find out why you are having these doubts. In the end it will only cause resentment and frustration and eventually damage the relationship to where it is no longer fixable. (Meaning)
